THA-THANG:
Four cones are set up at each corner of the sidewalk that runs around the perimeter of the grass lawn at world’s fair park. Each cone represents a stop point along the way for an exercise. Move on to the next making your way back to the beginning. Exercises are merkins, jump squats, WWII sit ups, Carolina dry docks. PAX start at 10 reps of each exercise, decreasing to 9 reps on the second, lap, 8 reps on the third lap, etc. PAX halt after completing lap with 6 reps of each exercise.
Mosey up and across pedestrian bridge beside 11th St parking garage, up and around the hill and down beside the Alumni Memorial Building to the amphitheater. Going up amphitheater steps, PAX must bunny hop on flat areas and box jump up to the next level. Once reaching the top, perform 5 squats. Turn around, and bear crawl down the steps, once reaching the bottom perform 5 derkins. Repeat this routine for 3 rounds. Once all PAX complete, take a 5 count break and line up at the base again. In the style of Growruck 05, PAX perform the same routine, only this time we make all movements together as a team going up and back down. We did this as a physical representation of “no man left behind”.
Mosey up the hill beside Neyland Stadium to see the General. PAX pair up, one partner jumping rope with the general while the other sprints up the Vol walk to the power T and performs 25 incline merkins. Sprint back down to your partner and flapjack. Second round repeat the same, only perform 25 decline merkins. At this point Detention looked like he was shot out of a cannon as he was running faster going uphill than me sprinting downhill.
No real recovery after this routine, PAX had to head back to SP. Taking same route back, jackrabbits stopped for rounds of squats and SSHs while waiting on the 6 to catch up. Continue mosey back to the SP, jailbreak on the last straight of the worlds fair lawn to empty the tanks.
